They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates.

Crazy people who are productive are geniuses. Crazy people who are rich are eccentric. Crazy people who are neither productive nor rich are just plain crazy. Geniuses and crazy people are both out in the middle of a deep ocean geniuses swim, crazy people drown. Most of us are sitting safely on the shore. Take a chance and get your feet wet.

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy mothers day mom
Im glad ur here
Now listen to this
You might want to here
You are the best mom i could ever want
And im glad ur here
Because if you weren't it would make me tear
Another mothers day had gone to fast
But just remember all of the good times from the past
Like the day i was born
O boy that was great
Or the way you use to run around with us an play
So i just wanted you to no how special you are
And thats why you deserve this card
You are the best mom any kid could want
Happy mothers day

I LOVE YOU MOM.........

Mother Poems

We have Fathers Poems
Why not Mothers Poems?
Without our Mothers, we won't be born,
Without Mothers, We are so forlorn.
Babies, Mothers nurture,
And guide us in our future.
To Mothers everywhere,
Lovely poems, I do declare!

Cell Sitters

None of them know a thing about themselves.
Other than what has been for them created.
Other than what has been to them fed, lied and gossiped.

I wonder how many of the more than two million incarcerated,
Believed they were raised...
To do well in school and to get good grades?
I wonder how many were cussed and ridiculed,
By ignorant guardians?
Who themselves thought they were blessed to be fools?
So many of them do.

These cell sitters,
Kept locked and confined...
To be rehabilitated!
And losing trust in a system caring less about their fates.
Mothers and fathers of children right now...
Who are being prepared,
For jail bait!

These cell sitters,
Kept locked and confined...
To be rehabilitated!
And losing trust in a system caring less about their fates.
Mothers and fathers of children right now...
Who are being prepared,
For jail bait!

By those blinded whiners sitting on their behinds,
Undisciplined and complaining...
About what's not being done for them.
And they do nothing at all but sit on stoops,
In fantasized stupors!

These cell sitters,
Kept locked and confined...

I wonder how many were cussed and ridiculed,

Who themselves thought they were blessed to be fools?
So many of them do.
And there are more than just a few,
Cell sitters spewing about 'nuthin'!

Mothers Day

Mothers Day Greetings

For our forgotten mothers

Even though we are not living,

We remember you Mom!


We know it is hard

For you to have a good Mothers' Day

When your son is from this life apart,

We, your sons, thank each one of you on your day.


We know you feel sad and glum

When you are from your son apart.

Happy Mothers Day Mom

In this life you did your part.

~ Pero Yo Te Saludo Madre ~

Since there can be no cozy place
God devised womb in Mothers.

Since no first immunization can be synthesized
God created colostrums in Mothers.

Since no nutrient can be ever chemicalized
God sprung nectarine spring in Mother.

Since no freshener can be so allayer
God formulated corpusfreshener in Mothers.

Since no smile can be so captivating
God designed smiles in Mothers.

Since no toy gizmo ever give comfy
God crafted caresses in Mothers.

Since there is no better soother
God voxed berceuse in Mother.

Since no poet can portray attributes of human
God imaged unportrayable Mothers.

All hymn psalm
All leaves are paper
All sermons parables
All sages seers literati
Stumble bumble swag to
Portray greatness and
Brilliances of Mothers.

Holiest Whole
Wholesome Whole
You’re embodiment of.

Since God couldn’t be
Present everywhere
All Highest created Mothers.

I Ms. Nivedita
Try vainly
To portray You
Condone this self but.

The Fates

The Lady`s Three, The Fates
Daughters of fair Goddess Night
Three aspects of the moon in flight
The Moerae, phases of thy lunar dates

First by name is Clotho
'Spinner of the Thread of Life'
Maiden fate of waxing light
Lissom love not doleful

The second Fate by name, Lachesis
'The measurer of Life`s Thread Length'
The burnished white, in full moon`s strength
Nymph fate of sanguine blood is

The third Fate by name, Atropos
'The cutter of The Thread'
The crone Fate of the dead
The waning moon, sends Banshee`s of apropos

Zeus`s folly claim, of siring these Fates three
And command of thy delegations
His mendacity, met him relegation
For even he, couldst not flee, The Fates that be

Oh! Parthenogenous Daughters
Of great Lady Necessity
The Strong Fate o`er land, sky and sea
I`ll await, The White Robed Fates, when my time abates

Woman as mother

Cruel women are kind hearted mothers.
Strict women are liberal mothers.
Selfish women are generous mothers.
They excel other mothers in nursing.

Byron

To Anne: Oh, Say Not, Sweet Anne

Oh, say not, sweet Anne, that the Fates have decreed
The heart which adores you should wish to dissever;
Such Fates were to me most unkind ones indeed,
To bear me from love and from beauty for ever.

Your frowns, lovely girl, are the Fates which alone
Could bid me from fond admiration refrain;
By these, every hope, every wish were o'erthrown,
Till smiles should restore me to rapture again.

As the ivy and oak, in the forest entwined,
The rage of the tempest united must weather;
My love and my life were by nature design'd
To flourish alike, or to perish together.

Then say not, sweet Anne, that the Fates have decreed
Your lover should bid you a lasting adieu;
Till Fate can ordain that his bosom shall bleed,
His soul, his existence, are centred in you.

Mothers Always Want Theirs Sons To Be Happy

mothers always want their sons to be happy
and so even if they marry someone
whom their fathers dislike
it is always them who settle for a compromise
and tell fathers to be flexible sometimes
not to hurt the hearts of sons

but sometimes when sons want something else
that only mothers understand
something that fathers cannot really compromise
mothers still compromise
and walk a mile farther
just to make their sons happy
and their sons leave them
to places that only mothers
by their loving hearts
know.

only mothers, yes only mothers,
and no one else.
